Angels in disguise

Chapter 2

"Hey, Jason.
I don't know why I can't stop remembering the day my dad found out about you, but I just need you to be careful when you're with him 'cause he's protective with me in a tough way.
I see that you haven't been active recently, and if you're just gonna keep on ignoring me, that's totally cool.
Hope you're  doing great :)" I sent another message to Jason, and yes, that's what I said. But when he replied, I figured that he wasn't doing okay at all. The message he sent back to me left me in concern.

"Hey there Lauren.
I'm not ignoring you or anything, it's just that I haven't really gotten the chance to speak to you lately.
And your dad is actually that protective? It's fine, I get that.
Also, no, I am not doing great. My life is in danger with my mom. She just found out a personal detail I didn't want her to know, and I was close to being beaten."

I was almost going to cry. Out of fear, I placed my hand on my moth as I read it. I couldn't believe how can a parent treat their own child like that. I couldn't think of anything else to do except pray for him.

"Lord God, I know I don't usually pray for anyone unless something does tell me I should, but I wanna pray for a certain internet friend of mine who's going through so much pain in his life. I'm praying about this because now I know how strict his mother is with social media. He got in very big trouble with her saying that she found out somehing personal he didn't want her to know and he was gonna get hit by his own mom.
But Lord, with whatever you know he's done wrong, I simply just ask that you'll forgive him with that and tell him how big your love is for him. Despite that he doesn't want to show off that side of telling people he's a Christ follower himself, I know that he believes in you. Because if he does, you believe in him too.
And it wasn't just his stepdad that convinced him to believe in you. What I could see him in is the fact that he was born to know you, seek you, find you, hear you, see you, believe in you and keep you first. God, you do know that I would very much wanna do the same thing. I just need you to teach me and help me more with that so that you can cleanse away my sins with your forgiveness and grace every time I start to realize there's something that I've done wrong.
Father God, you know I'm not just praying for my internet friend. I'm doing it for myself too and you know that.
God, you know what it feels like to go through a really tough time in a person's life like as if they know they're gonna get beaten up for doing something wrong. I know that friend of mine has his life in danger with his mother. I know what it feels like to go through something like that 'cause I've experienced something the same way before and I understand all people who keep going through those little things very well.
I know it's only been since the last days of December the first time that him and I both got to know each other, but I already know how much we have in common and so do you. You know him just as well as anyone. Despite that I thought he wasn't even a Christ follower until the day he told me his story about being a Christian who believes in you. Most people are all looking at him as if he's not a religious person, but what I see in him is that he has the eyes of a true believer.
With anything that is blocking his path to you that keeps pushing him away from it, Lord, I pray that you'll just rise up for him in the name of your presence so that you can protect him from his enemies and you'll forgive his mother for what she did to him during those days when he got in trouble with her, and that she'll learn to treat him better. The real reason why I'm asking for this is because I want him to stay strong for every individual person who surrounds him with your Grace, and that he will be safe and sound while you do your work on making his life become much better than it is right now. And most importantly for you, God. 'Cause you're the one who makes us stronger by catching us when we fall.
Amen. "

My mom told me that I shouldn't be praying for him, but my intention was to only do that for a good reason. No one really cares for me that much, but I care for everyone out there including the kind of people who I understand most.

Sometimes I don't think that God can see or even hear the words I'm trying to say to him when I pray, but I always want to share his words to others. Especially to those that don't believe in him.
It doesn't really matter to me at all if anyone's an atheist, but I just share anything that God does say to us in the bible anyway.

I once had an atheist come at me for being a Christian.

"You can be an atheist and try to push me away from God all you want, but that doesn't mean you're gonna stop me from being a Christian 'cause there's absoulutely no way that's going to happen."

I was offended. I didn't know what to do. I would've said that to them if only I had stand my ground when that happened. But now I do know how to stand my ground.

Standing your ground whenever you're being brought down by someone is like the way how you overcome your fear.

Fear doesn't only demand you to be scared. It demands you to be weak and paralyzed. In order to cope through that is not to only tell that fear to go away, but you have to face it by using courage and bravery.
